Exceptional, High-Grade Copper Intersected at Lana Corina - 298m @ 0.98% CuEq

Culpeo Minerals Limited (Culpeo or the Company) (ASX:CPO, OTCQB:CPORF) is pleased to announce that drilling has delivered an intersection of 298m @ 0.98% CuEq, from near- surface high-grade copper mineralisation at the Lana Corina Project (the Project)1 in Chile. The drillhole is ongoing and seeks to test the potential for further porphyry-hosted copper mineralisation at depth.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • The longest intersection of high-grade copper mineralisation achieved at Lana Corina (Figure 1, 2, 3 and Appendix B and C);
  • Diamond drillhole CMLCD014 returned 298m @ 0.98% CuEq from 90m and remains open at depth, with drilling ongoing;
  • Included two wide, higher-grade zones:
    • 78m @ 1.24% CuEq from 200m; and
    • 68m @ 1.14% CuEq from 320m.
  • Drilling continues with hole CMLCD014 currently at 700m; and
  • Assays remain outstanding for 242m of hole CMLCD014 with results expected in 2 to 3 weeks.

Culpeo Minerals’ Managing Director, Max Tuesley, commented:

“This intersection is exceptional in terms of both length and grade, clearly demonstrating that the Lana Corina geological system is something very special. Results returned to date confirm the longest ever mineralised intersection at the Project. Importantly, these results represent just the upper 388m of the hole. Drilling is ongoing with the hole currently at a downhole depth of 700m. The extensive and rich mineralisation intersected so far, supports our strategy that additional drilling will lead to substantial increases in the Project’s scale. This is an exciting time for both our Company and our Shareholders, with what is emerging as a significant copper system in the Coastal Cordillera of Chile.”

LANA CORINA DRILLING PROGRAM

This drill program at Lana Corina7 is focused on expanding the western and down-dip extension of previously reported high-grade copper and molybdenum mineralisation. Hole CMLCD014 is designed to test the current understanding of a revised geological model at Lana Corina and seeks to extend the near surface, high-grade breccia hosted mineralisation to the west and porphyry hosted copper-molybdenum mineralisation at depth.

Results returned from the first 388m of hole CMLCD014 confirms a copper-molybdenum intersection of 298m @ 0.98% CuEq from 90m to 388m. This represents the longest, continuously mineralised intersection in the Project’s history. The consistency of the 298m breccia intersection supports the current geological model and demonstrates the potential to expand the scale of the near surface, high-grade breccia zone. A further 242m of core has been submitted for analysis, with results remaining outstanding.

A Look at Historical Copper Prices (Updated 2024)

Copper has had a volatile few years; however, amid various ups and downs, prices for the red metal hit an all-time high on May 20, 2024, trading at US$5.20 per pound on the COMEX.

Interestingly, by looking backwards it’s easy to see that this spike was an expected feature of the long-term picture for copper prices. The red metal has rebounded after a downtrend from about 2011 to 2015, and over the last few decades prices have increased even more dramatically.

Case in point — at the time of its new high in May 2024, the copper price has increased over 500 percent since January 2000. Although this impressive major increase doesn't account for inflation, it's still a sizeable gain. Let's take a deeper dive into copper prices going back even further.

How to Invest in Copper (Updated 2024)

Copper has long been held up as a key indicator of global economic health, and as the world electrifies it's taking on a new shine, making it a potentially compelling choice for green-minded investors.

Often called Dr. Copper, copper is one of the most followed base metals, and its high ductility and electrical conductivity make it the third most consumed industrial metal, behind iron ore and aluminum, as per the US Geological Survey.

Given its attributes, copper is often used for electrical purposes such as power transmission and generation. And like its base metal sibling nickel, it has a major role in the electric vehicle revolution, with experts at S&P Global expecting consumption of copper to jump 20 percent by 2035 due to demand from the green energy market.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • The Targets: Core drilling will evaluate the potential for: (1) extensions of high-grade gold mineralization at the Deerhorn deposit, (2) extensions of gold-rich copper mineralization at the Three Firs zone, and (3) extensions of higher gold mineralization at the Southeast deposit.
  • The Program: Approximately 3,600m of core drilling in 9 drill holes is planned, some of which will be on the contiguous Redgold property.

"With our financing freshly closed, I'm excited about the start of drilling at Woodjam," commented Craig Parry, Executive Chairman. "Strong copper prices are expected to continue over the long term and Vizsla Copper is executing on its strategy of acquiring undervalued copper assets and completing selective, high-impact exploration programs on our best targets."
